About this listen

This poem was inspired by a program I saw on silkworms and their germination and metamorphosis into adult moths (which they generally never get to because of the demand for their silk).

Domesticated silk moths don't survive the silk process of obtaining their silk. The death of the silk moth is not described in this poem. The silk worm trade has been going for over 5,000 years and cultivated mainly in Asia.

The name the "Silk Road" came about because of this highly lucrative trade. The domesticated silk worms are called Bombyx mori, and their Wild cousins are called Bombyx mandarina.
